Faded Brides
03:53
|
|
||
Packed in lines, in sad apartments
The thousand metre stare, cathartic state
Eyes wide shut, lifeless statues
Waiting
Always waiting
Packed in lines, dreary eyes
A few hours passed, a few years gone
Waiting
For the next kiss
For the next rant
A silent hatred
That consumes everything
For a few seconds of relief
Bleak days on repeat
Silence
Silence precedes the lecture
The faded brides
Will only blame themselves
For sins they haven’t done
The guilt comes with the screams
Slowly they disappear
Bleak years to come
Slowly they fade away
Bleak years to come
Abandoned in their solitude, they weep

Patented Lies
03:26
|
|
||
You paralyse the flow / of disturbing truces
Capitalise on flaws / to conquer the masses
Infantilize your peers / with fabricated truths
And let ‘em eat their fears / of cloudy falling roofs
Outward signs of wealth / to show ‘em all your faith
In a sad tale of despise / that’s only built on lies
Buy goodness, feed markets
Sell evil, gain riches
The aim is rigged
Preach assets, produce creeds
Pray for wealth, trade good deeds
And rot in health
The same tactics, recycled and abused
Patented lies, to sell crosses or Rolexes
The same tactics, recycled and abused
Patented lies, to sell crosses or Rolexes

Old Gods New Gods
02:56
|

In this land of pain
Where we grew
The old gods are dead
The wooden cross
Hanging upside down
The altar, burning
We were taught to hate ourselves
Verses of guilt
Verbis diablo
But the old gods are dead
To give place to surrogates
Who did not wait
To initiate a new reign of deception
After ages of blind faith
Disbelief became the new religion
But everything is still the same
Hate the facts
Blame the wise
The prophets of stupidity arose
A cult of ignorance
Mirages of knowledge
Spreading like diseases
We contemplate the abyss
Of a world that ceased to believe in itself

Le Dernier Civil
05:19
|
|

Le ciel se couvre
Une secousse, la rumeur gronde
L’homme ploie sous l’effort
Il vacille face au souffle
Des pas qui s’ajustent et chargent
La foudre, le gouffre infini
L’étal d’une frénésie triomphante
Encaisse les coups
Toujours
Et rit
La masse gluante hurle
Ses certitudes
Dégueule l’obscène servitude
D’un fanatisme cruel
Les troupes s’assemblent
Pour la grande parade hypocrite
Aiguisent leur détestation
De nos doutes
Et nous mourrons sous les balles
Des dogmes à venir

Child of Rage
04:41
|
|
||
The night ate the world
Witness his birth
In blood in pain
Look at the womb / Look at the tomb
It’s torn apart / The child of rage
I fear the day has come
I fear the tales were right
When the wrath of the ignorant
Will cut us deeper than any blade
When the pride of the fool
Will deprive us of serenity
When the stench that remains
Will wipe our fragile thoughts
When the flags of hatred
Will fly high in the sky
And this is the sign that the wave is real
And now we all know that we’re all the slaves
Of the child of rage

Altered Ego
04:27
|
|||
A metal bar through the skull
Grey matter crushed by the cold iron
Living dead, cleansed feelings
He was a regular Joe
That became a senseless foe
Failing strength
Derelict tissues
He was promised to the grave
Standing in the ruins of his mind
I too am standing in the ruins of my mind
Algid ghost deprived
Benevolence no more
I don’t know what happened
Kill thy neighbour is the new anthem
Wrath and suffering, the last shelter
In the shadows of an impending doom
I forgot how to cry
Sterilised and consumed by hatred
The abject crowbar of the great nothing
Has pierced through my skull
Unconcerned by the sorrow around us
I have thrown away the crown of thorns
Unconcerned by the sorrow around us
I have thrown away...
the crown of thorns

Post-truth Reality
04:21
|
|
||
Lies upon lies upon lies upon lies
Never ending flow of sounds and images
Facts turned to fables
Lies
Facts turned to fables
Fables turned to reality
Dead souls on hold
The endless circle of eternity
Lies
The lingering sound of a past
That never was
Has brought us to the tipping point
And they sing...
Lies
We walk in darkness
We are free
We bath in blood
We are free
We love nothing
We are free
We need no words
We are free
Echoes of eternity
The distorted tales of a few
The endless circle
The end of the world
Embrace all myths
And sing with them these rhymes of deception
We are free
This is the end of the world
We are free
Now is the end of the world
We are free
We are the end of the word

All We Are
03:25

Roam the world
The bane of Cain
Has worn us down
The purple veil blinding our sight
Flames clouding our mind
For blood has left its permanent
Stain on our souls
Believe in nothing
Believe in everything
In the end we’re all the same
Lying, cheating deceivers
In the end we’re all the same
Lying, cheating deceivers
The weakness of believers
Servants of gods
Who revel in conflict
We’ve learned nothing
We’ve learned everything
Golden coins on closed eyelids
Banal and depraved
Is all we are
A dagger in the hand
To show ´em all
Our religion is nothing but spit, dust and cum
Believe in nothing
Believe in everything
And sink
